Improvisational music artist Matisyahu and alternative, blues, and hip-hop band G. Love & Special Sauce return to The Backyard Stage at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Friday, August 25, 2023 with special guest Cydeways.

Fans within the improvisational-jam scene began flocking to Matisyahu’s shows shortly after he performed at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in August of 2005.  He found himself on stage with the de facto leader of improvisational rock-n-roll, Phish’s front man Trey Anastasio.  Many early fans of Matisyahu remember that moment clearly because of his seemingly unfettered confidence (or perhaps naiveté) in helping lead Trey and his band through an improvisational display of beat boxing and lyrical gymnastics during the two songs performed.  It may have been unrefined, but Matisyahu’s passion for full band improvisation was laid bare.

G. Love grew up in Philadelphia equally enthralled with folk, blues, and rap – devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After migrating to Boston, he and his band, Special Sauce, broke out in 1994 with their Gold-selling, self-titled debut.  It earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next twenty-five years, G. Love would go on to release seven more similarly lauded studio albums with Special Sauce (plus four solo albums on his own).  This solidified his place in music history as a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as “a new and urgent hybrid” and NPR called a “musical melting pot”.
